Monarchs!!
We got monarch caterpillars again this year!! I'm hoping we can protect a bunch of them from wasps this time out.
We saw three that were getting ready to form their chrysalises:
Jessica bought me some mesh protectors you can put around the milkweed stalks, but there are a bunch that are exposed. We have this mesh box I can put more caterpillars in, but I haven't decided the best way to do it. Like, if I clip a bunch of leaves, if that'll be enough food for them.
There are a few more photos on flickr.
